Chapter 1181: I, Ye Si, I'm Not a Laughing Star!
In two tough battles with the Kings and the Hawks in succession, the Seattle SuperSonics played quite heartily.
It's not just the Seattle SuperSonics players who are playing heartily, even the old Nelson also feels hearty.
The Seattle SuperSonics' five small tactics this season are that they need their opponents to work hard to show their true power.
How can the opponent not work hard, the cannon will fight mosquitoes, and even the team's five small will not need to play the five small tactical system, and directly go up and give the opponent five or eight one by one.
How unpleasant this is!
As for whether the opponent's fight every game is strong and hard, whether it will increase the risk of injury to supersonic players, this is actually not so likely.
Whether players will be injured on the field is more of a fatigue game in addition to physical fitness.
The confrontation is strong, the intensity of the game is strong, and this is of course more likely to make the players tired.
But the fatigue of the opposing players is basically.
And the players on the supersonic side actually don't have this problem.
Because the playing time of the five starters in the five small groups this season is strictly controlled, each player cannot play more than 36 minutes in a game.
With the exception of Yes, every player needs to be strictly executed.
As for Yes......
Ye Si actually has this request, but Ye Si himself said that it is not necessary, although I don't know why, but since Ye Si feels that it is not necessary, it is not necessary.
Because of Ingles, a player who has now risen to 1.1, Nelson Sr. is now very comfortable in terms of rotation.
If it weren't for the existence of Antetokounmpo and Leonard, Ingles' plank value would have been able to play five small starters in his original plan!
Therefore, it is not a big problem to rotate the other four starters except for Yes, and it may reduce the strength of the team a little.
But like Yes, maybe Yes is a little bit worse than it was at its peak three years ago, but is there any difference to the rest of the league, the other teams?
In fact, no one knows what Yes's strength was three years ago, including him.
After all, the all-win three years ago, although there was a release from the alliance, Yes did not go all out.
Every game is 20 points and it's a triple-double.
Yes is 20 points per game, it doesn't mean he can only score 20 points!
Yes triple-double per game does not mean that he can't play high scores in the game and can't play high defensive games!
That's why everyone thinks Yes three years ago was so incredible.
The season has been won, but still no one has seen his full strength.
In this case, everyone thinks that Yes three years ago is the strongest person in the NBA.
You can't say that three years later, Yes hasn't touched basketball for three years, but its strength is stronger than three years ago, right?
Who believes this?
Although Yes was asked this question in an interview, Yes always said that he was stronger now than he was three years ago, but no one believed it at all.
It's the same as Yes said that his current defense and steals are his shortcomings.
So much so that many people say......
"In the past three years, Yes has not only shown the world his all-round talent in sports and the ultimate form of perfect humanity, but at the same time, three years after leaving the clean and pure and harmonious environment of the NBA, Yes has also learned badly, and Yes of White Lotus has actually learned to lie, and when he lies, he says the same as the truth!"
Let's not talk about whether the NBA is a clean, pure and harmonious environment, but Yes can talk serious nonsense after taking a turn outside, which is really interesting.
Although yes would have been talking nonsense about his teammates three years ago, he would never have talked nonsense about his own problems.
After all, Yes's vision is like that, he said that Rondo has MVP quality, and there is nothing, after all, he has to look at people so accurately, and now the whole NBA is full of a combination of Jordan and Magic.
Of course, everyone still believes in Yes's character problem, and no one really thinks that he has become bad.
Therefore, for Yes's evaluation of himself, he feels that he is stronger now than he was three years ago, and he feels that his weakest thing is defense.
This is not a problem of his character, or an old problem, that is, a problem of vision.
"In the past, I always thought that Yes and Jordan's vision was a level, and they were not allowed to look at others, but now I was wrong, compared with Jordan, Yes is still more blind, although Jordan is not allowed to look at others, but he is still very accurate to see himself, but Yes, he is not even allowed to look at himself!"
"Yes's serious, serious and simple appearance, no one thinks he's a liar, he really believes what he says, he really thinks he's better now than he was three years ago, and really feels that his steals and defense are his relative weaknesses!"
Therefore, every time Yes seriously emphasized these two issues after that, the reporters below had a smile on their faces.
"Yes always makes people feel like laughing when they're serious, I can't help it, just like watching Curry want to laugh every time he's serious, the similarity between master and apprentice is simply amazing!"
"It's not disrespectful to Dell, if you don't consider skin color, age and looks, I think Yes is more like Curry's own father, all-round like."
Of course, although the elder Nelson does not quite believe Yes's words that he is stronger now than he was three years ago, there is no doubt that the supersonic speed is indeed stronger than the supersonic speed of three years ago.
The team now has six players who can beat him in five, something he never imagined!
At the same time, in addition to the team's starting lineup, the rotation lineup of Milicic and Millsap, Danny Greentak and Rondo has also been quite terrifying this season.
Milicic, Millsap, Green and Tucker are there for their strength.
This season, although they don't have much playing time, they can throw all their strength into this short playing time, and they don't have to think about whether they are physically exhausted.
In this case, these players showed more strength in the game than in any previous season!
After the start of this season, these rotation players of the SuperSonics have not yet met their opponents!
In short, this season, the Seattle SuperSonics are really strong, and they really don't have to think about player injuries.
There is enough rotation, and there is really too much time.
In this case, the injury of a player can only depend on the physique and the heavens.
Yes, Durant, Leonard, James Harden, Antetokounmpo, none of them look like they are the kind of physique that is prone to injury.
As for luck......
Yes's luck has never been very good, but the team seems to have no problems with injuries other than Durant's broken leg.
So, after David Stern built such a big stage for the Seattle SuperSonics, the Seattle SuperSonics can now pursue the limits of basketball as unscrupulously as he does!
After defeating the Hawks, who were inspired by David Stern, the Seattle SuperSonics will face the Portland Trail Blazers, who are now fourth in the West.
The Portland Trail Blazers have been very, very good in the West this season.
In fact, not only this season, but the Trail Blazers have performed quite well in the three seasons since Yes left the NBA three years ago.
Gortat, Aldridge, Batum, Wesley Johnson, Conley, Eric Gordon, J.J. Sickson, Martel Webster, and of course, Damion Lillard!
In the three years since Yes left the NBA, the Portland Trail Blazers have been a very competitive team in the NBA, and this team may not be a regular in the Western Conference finals or the Western Conference semifinals, or even if it can't make the playoffs, it has always been ninth or tenth in the West, and its performance in the regular season has always been quite good.
No way, the thickness of the team is really amazing.
The Trail Blazers aren't a bad team either.
As long as you can play your game, you can stay here and get a good contract.
Slowly, the Trail Blazers have more and more excellent players.
The thickness is also getting deeper and deeper.
At the same time, the team's salary space is becoming less and less, and the team's operational ability is slowly declining.
In a way, the Trailblazer and the Supersonic are very much alike.
The only difference is that the Seattle SuperSonics have succeeded.
And the Trailblazers are crowded before they have succeeded.
Of course, in terms of championship teams, the Trail Blazers are indeed crowded.
There are too many players in the team with an annual salary of tens of millions!
Gortat, Aldridge, Batum, Wesley Johnson, Conley, Eric Gordon, Webster, Sickerson, all of these are tens of millions of annual salaries.
A team has more than eight players with an annual salary of tens of millions, and it is very scary to imagine it a little.
And, are these players worth their salaries?
Of course it's worth it.
Even if they are not in the Trailblazers, they can get tens of millions of salaries in other places.
These contracts are not watery, but when so many players who are not watery get together, then there is a problem.
A bunch of good, but not so good, players are cramming salary space, and the team can't find a real top supergiant, which is the biggest problem for the Trail Blazers right now.
80 million annual salary of players!
Wouldn't it be nice to replace four or even five of them with two supergiants, even if it's two superstars and an all-star?!
But in the end, the Portland Trail Blazers were blocked by those players with tens of millions of contracts with tens of millions of strength.
It also makes the Trail Blazers look vigorous in the regular season, but when it comes to the playoffs, it always feels a little brittle because of the lack of supergiants or finalist superstars.
According to the evaluation of the Trail Blazers by experts in the league, this team is a very typical team in the NBA that falls into the trap of 'medium strength'.
According to many experts, a team that wants to be competitive in the NBA, or wants to win championships, the best team structure is more than 2 supergiants + a variety of superstars + a number of players with tens of millions of strength but rookies or veterans with low salaries.
In short, the fewer contracts the team has a real annual salary of 10 million, the better!
Such a player, three or four are not worth a supergiant useful!
But the salaries of such three or four players add up, I'm afraid they can be exchanged for two supergiants.
Very low cost performance!
Therefore, the current Trail Blazers, although they performed very well in the regular season, many experts simply disdain this team.
"The Trail Blazers are the same as the SuperSonics that Yes didn't come back, the players are young, but they are already dry bones in the grave with no future."
At a young age, he became a dry bone in the grave, which made the two bosses of the Trailblazers, Aldridge and Conley, a little embarrassed.
Aldridge is eighty-five years old, and now he is 28 years old, which is not considered young, but Conley, who is a serious 800 87-year-old player, is only 26 years old this year.
This is still a young category in the NBA, but Conley was drafted early, otherwise this age is the age at which the senior rookie finishes his rookie contract.
What's more, not only are they not very old, but they also have good pursuits!
They are not the kind of people who want to wait for retirement with a high salary!
They also want to succeed and they want championships!
Seriously, they're under a lot of pressure.
Aldridge is the eldest from the University of Texas.
His younger brother Tucker and Daniel Gibson have both won the championship, and his younger brother Durant has also won the championship.
And Conley, who felt he was much worse than Aldridge.
He was born in the NBA!
He's Yes's apprentice!
Let's see what kind of people Yes's apprentices are.
Big apprentice Curry, supergiant, MVP, champion.
The second apprentice, Oden, is the best defensive player in one team, and the league's supergiant!
He is the third.
The fourth is Nick Young, who is also a famous superstar in the league, a playoff player, an All-Star regular, and a well-known powerhouse in the league.
In the past, he always felt that although he was miserable in the division, he still had his little junior brother Leonard at the bottom.
Nima's, after Leonard soared this season, he was directly dumbfounded.
Leonard is now a supergiant!
And it's the kind of supergiant that's recognized, and he?
What level is he now?
Giant star? That's certainly not, because he hasn't even been an All-Star in Nima right now!
But to say that he is only an All-Star player?
That's not either, because those superstar point guards in the league, point guards at the same position, whether it is Paul or Deron Williams or John Wall or even Bradley, are basically not pleasing when facing him.
He felt that his strength was still there.
But the recognition of the fans and the league is very, very low.
No way, as Yes's apprentice, your performance in the NBA over the years is really not worthy of others' high esteem.
You can't even get in with the All-Stars, what else do you have to say.
In short, over the years, Conley has had a rather unsatisfactory life at the Trailblazers.
Coupled with the fact that the team is now caught in the trap of 'medium players', the future of the team is basically nothing.
If the team wants to have a future now, it can only rely on the players selected by the team's draft to grow into superstars or even supergiants!
How is this possible!
If the Trail Blazers are a weak team, a lottery may be the top pick.
But although these medium players of the Trail Blazers can't chase the championship, they can't be a lottery team, which makes people desperate!
Therefore, the team can only select rookies with low and medium picks.
Can such a rookie grow into a superstar or even a superstar?
What are you thinking?
The Trail Blazers' current draft picks can only pick players like CJ McCollum!
What do you expect him to be a superstar or a superstar for?
What are you kidding?
Even an all-star can't grow!
No, McCollum hasn't even gone up to show this season, so he just lay down for two months.
It can be said that the current pioneer is already a dead end.
Although Lillard, a rookie selected by the team two years ago, has performed very well in the past two seasons.
However, Lillard's performance this season is very, very close to what he did last season.
In his rookie season, he averaged 16 points per game, which was outstanding.
But in the second season, he still averaged 16 or 17 points per game, and even the shooting rate did not improve, and even declined, which means that this player is basically the kind of player who has no potential.
It's hard for such a player to become a superstar or a supergiant who can help the Trail Blazers break the game.
It is also difficult for such a player to grow into a leader who can lead the Trail Blazers.
Such a player is likely to end up like other players of the SuperSonics, becoming a tasteless chicken rib to be discarded, and in the end, the team has no choice, and sends him a contract with an annual salary of 10 million to keep him, and then, the team becomes even more bloated.
Such a future, Conley and Aldridge can be regarded as visible to the naked eye.
They know by now that none of them are the kind of players who can be bosses and they want a boss to lead them.
But now the status quo of the pioneers is really forcing them to be the boss.
So, they're like this every year, repeating their nightmare season after season.
From 2007 to 2007, to now, three years later, three years later, and now it's been seven years, and Aldridge is even worse than him, it's been eight years!
Fortunately, their second contracts are about to expire, and both he and Aldridge are preparing to leave the Trail Blazers.
In this game against the supersonics, Conley has a lot to talk to his master Yes.
Losing the game and being beaten five or eight is not their main concern.
Both Conley and Aldridge now want Yes's guidance.
So after the game with the Trail Blazers, Conley and Aldridge teamed up to find Yes.
"Master, what do you think we should do now?"
Ye Si can also see that his apprentice has been really bitter for the past seven years, and he can also see that they don't really want to leave, so many years of relationship, but the pioneer is really a dark mess.
But......
Ye Si looked at Lillard, who was stubborn and unhappy after the game was over not far away......
This man he knew, five stars.
"I think Lillard is good."
What does Ye Si mean, just wait, maybe it's all bitter?
Don't get out of the 49-year-old beep army.
But when Yes finished speaking, Aldridge and Conley almost cried.
The master said Lillard was good?!
Now, it's completely over!
“……”
Seeing that Conley and Aldridge were now dumbfounded, Yes, who had a serious face, was not happy.
I, Yas, seriously, am not a comedian!
